Mangaluru, Jul 28: After successful raids against massage parlours and gambling centres across the city, Mayor Kavitha Sanil on Friday conducted a surprise dive to clear parking encroachments. This time the Mayor targeted two under construction buildings in the heart of the city.

Team of Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) officials led by the Mayor demolished structures, cleared construction materials and took possession of a large piece of the land in the heart of the city, which building owners had relinquished to MCC.

A cooperative society had agreed to relinquish a large piece of land on Mission Street while applying for a building licence in 2012. However, the owners have failed to surrender about 20 ft wide land in front of their under construction building even after four years. Meanwhile, another under construction building on the same road too has not adhered to the conditions with regard to surrendering of relinquished land to MCC.

Following this, the Mayor, MCC officials and workers arrived with an earth mover machine and truck to clear materials and take possession of the relinquished land. The team successfully demolished walls, cleared construction materials and debris dumped on the relinquished land. Mayor told reporters that the MCC has plans to utilize the land for development purpose.

"We realized while conducting drives against parking encroachments that many buildings have not adhered conditions with regard to relinquishing of land.

Builders agree while applying for licence that they would surrendered the relinquished land during the completion of building. I have made ruling during last council meeting that builders should surrender the land soon after it is relinquished. These builders are not surrendering the land and delaying the construction making it difficult for public. If the land is cleared, it will be useful for pedestrians on the road," the Mayor said.

She said that in all cases, the relinquished land becomes the property of MCC with immediate effect. "The builders should surrender relinquished land immediately so that we will be able to use it for development. However, they refuse to surrender the land and promise that it will be handed over during the completion.

If they delay the construction, the relinquished land also will remain unitilised and as a result people will suffer. Hence, we have conducted a drive to clear such land. I have made it clear in the council meet that those who relinquish land should surrender the same immediately when they get building licence. Drainage will be constructed on the land that we took possession today," Kavitha said.

Bengaluru, June 23: Karnataka Congress chief D K Shivakumar has urged his party colleagues to be active on social media to counter the propaganda of Bharatiya Janata Party.

Speaking to media persons, the KPCC president said that no more than 20 out of the 68 Congress MLAs are active on social media.

“All those MLAs who are doing well need to be projected. We want leaders, not mere followers. They all should be the face of Congress in Karnataka. Party should not depend on just my face or Siddaramaiah’s,” he said.

Shivakumar’s diktat has resulted in the party’s social media unit scrambling to get leaders to create their accounts.

“We’re pressuring all the party MLAs and leaders. We’re asking their personal assistants or gunmen to operate their accounts if they are not savvy with social media,” KPCC social media chief A N Nataraj Gowda said.

He pointed out that the 20 MLAs who are active on social media include U T Khader, Dinesh Gundu Rao, Priyank Kharge, Krishna Byre Gowda among others.

“We’re also trying to get the accounts verified of those who are beginning to get active. For example, it was only recently that we got the accounts of S R Patil and Vijay Singh verified,” Gowda said.

Tapping the full potential of social media is crucial for the Congress because the BJP has found much success in reaching out to voters through various online platforms.

In fact, ahead of the 2018 Assembly elections, the Congress found that there were 10 ministers and some 40 MLAs who had turned a blind eye towards social media.

Shivakumar said he was also working on putting in place a system in the party under which all developments related to the state and country will be communicated to all party leaders at 10 am every day.

Amidst heightened border tensions between Indian and China, senior BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's two year old tweet comparing his party with Communist Party of China started going viral. 

The tweet, dated 26 June, 2016 reads: "Communist Party of China & BJP have done numerous works in social field. This way, there is tremendous similarities between the two parties." (sic)

Twitterati dug up this tweet after over 20 Indian Army personnel, including a colonel, were killed in a clash with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh earlier this week.

Soon after Chouhan's tweet went viral, netizens took to the micro-blogging site and slammed BJP. One user said, "Interesting comment by Hindutva ITSELF to recognise how similar they are with China. No doubt. Both believe in Dragon Throne .... and brutal absolute control." Another user said, "No wonder the BJP & China both agree that PLA never crossed into Indian territory."

Beijing, Feb 21: A 29-year-old Chinese doctor, who postponed his wedding to treat patients infected with the deadly coronavirus, has died treating them after being infected by the virus, the ninth fatality among the healthcare providers working to contain the outbreak.

Dr Peng Yinhua, doctor of a Wuhan hospital who treated patients infected with the coronavirus, died on Thursday night, according to the health bureau.

Peng, a respiratory acute care medical professional, became infected while working to combat the novel coronavirus at the First People's Hospital of Jiangxia District of Wuhan. He was hospitalised on January 25 and transferred to the Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital for treatment on January 30.

"Peng Yinhua, a frontline doctor at Jiangxia First Hospital in virus epicenter #Wuhan, died of #COVID19 on Thursday night. He had earlier delayed his wedding as he wanted to treat patients with the disease at hospital," state-run Global Times tweeted on Friday.

He died from the virus despite doctors' all-out efforts to save his life.

Chinese health authorities have asked health agencies to apply for the honour of martyr for deceased medical staff to the veteran's affairs authorities, comfort the families of the deceased and help solve their difficulties, as well as publicise stories of those who sacrificed their lives during the epidemic, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

Li Wenliang, the 34-year-old Chinese doctor, who was one of the first people to sound the alarm about the new outbreak died on February 7.

Li sent a message to his medical-school alumni group on December 30, warning that seven patients had been quarantined at Wuhan Central Hospital after coming down with a respiratory illness that seemed like the SARS coronavirus. But Wuhan police reprimanded and silenced Li.

Earlier, Dr Liu Zhiming, head of the Wuchang Hospital died due to the virus. On the same day Liu Fan, senior nurse of the hospital, died along with her parents and brother due to the virus.

China’s National Health Commission earlier said that a total of 1,716 medical workers had contracted the infection as of February 11.

Peng's death takes the death toll among the medical staff to nine.
